ω-转氨酶能够催化酮类底物,通过立体选择性地转氨基作用,高效制备手性胺。因其具有高选择性、高转化率及温和的反应条件等优点,受到研究人员的广泛关注。但在工业化应用时,大多数的野生转氨酶存在催化效率低、立体选择性差、稳定性弱等缺点,使得真正能够被应用的转氨酶并不多。Omega-transaminase can catalyze ketone substrates and efficiently prepare chiral amines through stereoselective transamination. Because of its high selectivity, high conversion rate and mild reaction conditions, it has received extensive attention from researchers. However, in industrial applications, most of the wild transaminases have shortcomings such as low catalytic efficiency, poor stereoselectivity, and weak stability, so that there are not many transaminase that can really be used.

需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。下面将结合实施例来详细说明本发明。It should be noted that the embodiments in the application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other if there is no conflict. The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments.
“天然存在的”或“野生型”与“突变体”相对,指在自然界中发现的形式。例如,天然存在的或野生型的多肽或多核苷酸序列是存在于生物体的序列,它可以从自然界中的来源中分离,并且没有被人工所特意地修饰或改变。"Naturally occurring" or "wild type" is the opposite of "mutant" and refers to the form found in nature. For example, a naturally-occurring or wild-type polypeptide or polynucleotide sequence is a sequence that exists in an organism, it can be isolated from a source in nature, and has not been intentionally modified or changed by man.
本申请中,涉及例如,细胞、核酸或多肽“重组”时,是指已经以自然界中未存在的方式进行修饰的,或与自然界中存在的形式相同,但是由合成材料和/或通过使用重组技术的处理制备或衍生而得到,或对应于天然或固有形式的细胞、核酸或多肽。其中,非限制性的实例包括在细胞中表达固有(非重组)形式之外的基因或以不同水平表达固有基因的重组细胞。In this application, when referring to, for example, the "recombination" of cells, nucleic acids, or polypeptides, it means that they have been modified in a way that does not exist in nature, or are in the same form as they exist in nature, but are made of synthetic materials and/or through the use of recombinant materials. It is prepared or derived by technological processing, or corresponds to a cell, nucleic acid or polypeptide in a natural or inherent form. Among them, non-limiting examples include recombinant cells expressing genes other than the inherent (non-recombinant) form in cells or expressing inherent genes at different levels.
“序列同一性的百分比”是指多核苷酸序列或氨基酸序列之间的对比,并且通过跨比较窗比较两条最佳比对的序列来确定,其中,多核苷酸序列或氨基酸序列在比较窗中的部分与参考序列相比可以包括添加或缺失(即,空位),以用于两个序列的最佳比对。百分比可以如 下计算:通过确定两个序列中出现相同的核酸碱基或氨基酸残基的位置的数目,以产生匹配位置的数目,将匹配位置的数目除以比较窗中位置的总数目,并将结果乘以100以得到序列同一性的百分比。可选地,百分比可以如下计算:通过确定两个序列中出现相同的核酸碱基或氨基酸残基或者核酸碱基或氨基酸残基与空位对齐的位置的数目,以产生匹配位置的数目,将匹配位置的数目除以比较窗中位置的总数目,并将结果乘以100以得到序列同一性的百分比。其中,“参考序列”指用作序列比较的基础的指定序列。参考序列可以是更大序列的子集,例如,全长基因或多肽序列的区段。"Percentage of sequence identity" refers to the comparison between polynucleotide sequences or amino acid sequences, and is determined by comparing two optimally aligned sequences across a comparison window, where the polynucleotide sequence or amino acid sequence is in the comparison window. Compared with the reference sequence, the part in may include additions or deletions (ie, gaps) for the best alignment of the two sequences. The percentage can be calculated as follows: by determining the number of positions where the same nucleic acid base or amino acid residue appears in the two sequences to generate the number of matching positions, dividing the number of matching positions by the total number of positions in the comparison window, and The result is multiplied by 100 to get the percentage of sequence identity. Alternatively, the percentage can be calculated as follows: by determining the number of positions where the same nucleic acid base or amino acid residue or the nucleic acid base or amino acid residue is aligned with the gap in the two sequences to generate the number of matching positions, the match Divide the number of positions by the total number of positions in the comparison window and multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage of sequence identity. Here, "reference sequence" refers to a designated sequence used as a basis for sequence comparison. The reference sequence may be a subset of a larger sequence, for example, a segment of a full-length gene or polypeptide sequence.
定点突变:是指通过聚合酶链式反应(PCR)等方法向目的DNA片段(可以是基因组,也可以是质粒)中引入所需变化(通常是表征有利方向的变化),包括碱基的添加、删除、点突变等。定点突变能迅速、高效的提高DNA所表达的目的蛋白的性状及表征,是基因研究工作中一种非常有用的手段。Site-directed mutagenesis: refers to the introduction of desired changes (usually to characterize changes in a favorable direction) into the target DNA fragment (either genome or plasmid) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and other methods, including the addition of bases , Deletion, point mutation, etc. Site-directed mutagenesis can quickly and efficiently improve the traits and characterization of the target protein expressed by DNA, which is a very useful method in gene research.

为提高现有技术中的转氨酶的酶活性,减少酶的使用量,降低后处理的难度,本申请通过酶进化的方法对来源于Actinobacteria sp.的ω-转氨酶突变体L107I(SEQ ID NO:1)进行进化。In order to improve the enzyme activity of the transaminase in the prior art, reduce the amount of enzyme used, and reduce the difficulty of post-processing, this application uses the method of enzyme evolution to analyze the ω-transaminase mutant L107I (SEQ ID NO:1) derived from Actinobacteria sp. ) To evolve.
来源于Actinobacteria sp.的ω-转氨酶突变体L107I(SEQ ID NO:1)的序列如下:The sequence of the ω-transaminase mutant L107I (SEQ ID NO:1) derived from Actinobacteria sp. is as follows:

Figure PCTCN2020093528-appb-000011
以来源于Actinobacteria sp.的ω-转氨酶突变体L107I为模板,设计了17对饱和突变引物(F133、L166、A295、A168、V80、T293、W167、G235、W203、F236、T294、K149、H73、Y78、K146、V194、R145),利用饱和突变手段,以pET22b(+)为表达载体,获得突变质粒。Using the ω-transaminase mutant L107I from Actinobacteria sp. as a template, 17 pairs of saturated mutation primers (F133, L166, A295, A168, V80, T293, W167, G235, W203, F236, T294, K149, H73, Y78, K146, V194, R145), using saturation mutagenesis means, using pET22b(+) as the expression vector to obtain mutant plasmids.
饱和突变是通过对目的蛋白的编码基因进行改造,短时间内获取靶位点氨基酸分别被其它19种氨基酸替代的突变体的一种方法。此方法不仅是蛋白质定向改造的强有力工具,而且是蛋白质结构-功能关系研究的重要手段。饱和突变往往能获得比单点突变更为理想的进化体。而对于定点突变方法不能解决的这些问题,恰恰是饱和突变方法所擅长的独特之处。Saturation mutation is a method to obtain mutants in which the target amino acids are replaced by 19 other amino acids in a short time by modifying the coding gene of the target protein. This method is not only a powerful tool for directed modification of proteins, but also an important method for the study of protein structure-function relationships. Saturation mutations can often obtain more ideal evolutionary bodies than single point mutations. For these problems that the site-directed mutation method cannot solve, it is precisely the unique point that the saturation mutation method is good at.
在饱和突变获得活性提高的突变体基础上,可对有益的氨基酸位点进行组合,以获得性状更优的突变体。组合突变中双点突变的构建方法和单点突变的构建方法一样,采用全质粒PCR法构建。同时突变2个及以上位点的多点突变通过采用重叠延伸PCR扩增进行,获得含 多点突变的突变基因,两端经限制性内切酶酶切后,连接到表达载体上,转化至大肠杆菌细胞内,涂布于含有100μg/mL氨苄青霉素的LB培养皿中,37℃培养过夜,获得组合突变体,测序鉴定。On the basis of mutants with increased activity obtained by saturation mutations, beneficial amino acid positions can be combined to obtain mutants with better traits. The method for constructing double-point mutations in combinatorial mutations is the same as that for single-point mutations, using the whole plasmid PCR method. Simultaneously mutate two or more sites of multiple-point mutations by using overlap extension PCR amplification to obtain a mutated gene containing multiple-point mutations. After the two ends are digested with restriction enzymes, they are ligated to the expression vector and transformed into The Escherichia coli cells were spread on an LB culture dish containing 100 μg/mL ampicillin and cultured overnight at 37° C. to obtain combined mutants, which were identified by sequencing.
经饱和突变和组合突变获得的突变质粒转化至大肠杆菌细胞内,在大肠杆菌中表达。然后通过超声破碎细胞的方法获得粗酶液。转氨酶诱导表达的最佳条件:25℃,0.2mM IPTG过夜诱导。The mutant plasmid obtained by saturation mutation and combined mutation is transformed into E. coli cells and expressed in E. coli. Then, the crude enzyme solution is obtained by sonicating the cells. The best conditions for inducing expression of transaminase: 25℃, 0.2mM IPTG overnight induction.
获得活性大幅提高的转氨酶突变体后,使用易错PCR的方法对其进行随机突变,构建高质量的突变体库,开发合适的高通量筛选方法,对文库进行筛选,获得活性进一步提高的突变体。After obtaining transaminase mutants with greatly increased activity, they are randomly mutated using error-prone PCR methods to construct a high-quality mutant library, develop appropriate high-throughput screening methods, screen the library, and obtain mutations with further increased activity body.
易错PCR:意为易错条件下的PCR,即容易使复制出的DNA序列出现错误的PCR技术,又称错配PCR或倾向错误PCR。具体是指通过利用低保真度TaqDNA聚合酶和改变PCR反应条件,降低DNA复制的保真度,在新DNA链合成过程中增加碱基错配,从而使扩增产物出现较多点突变的一种体外诱导DNA序列变异的方法。Error-prone PCR: means PCR under error-prone conditions, that is, a PCR technique that easily causes errors in the copied DNA sequence, also known as mismatch PCR or error-prone PCR. Specifically, it refers to the use of low-fidelity TaqDNA polymerase and changing PCR reaction conditions to reduce the fidelity of DNA replication, increase base mismatches during the synthesis of new DNA strands, and cause more point mutations in the amplified products. A method of inducing DNA sequence variation in vitro.
易错PCR是目前最简单、有效的基因体外随机诱变技术,其原理是:碱基的异构为错配提供了可能,组成DNA的4种碱基都有互变异构体存在,其中鸟嘌呤(G)、胞嘧啶(C)和胸腺嘧啶(T)3种含氧碱基有酮式和烯醇式两种互变异构体。腺嘌呤(A)和胸腺嘧啶两种含氮碱基,有胺式、亚胺式两种互变异构体。G、C和T主要以酮式结构存在,烯醇式结构的比率极低,A和T两种含氮碱基上的氮原子主要以氨基(NH2)状态存在,以亚胺基(NH)状态存在的比率极低。不同同分异构体之间氢原子位置的不同及同一位置电子云偏离方向的不同,可使得碱基的配对形式发生改变,这样在复制后的子链上就可能出现错配。例如当胸腺嘧啶以酮式结构存在时,与腺嘌呤配对,而以烯醇式结构存在时,与鸟嘌呤配对,这样就出现了A能配上C,T能配上G的不稳定碱基对,从而造成错配。Error-prone PCR is currently the simplest and most effective in vitro random mutagenesis technique for genes. Its principle is: the isomerization of bases provides the possibility of mismatches. The four bases that make up DNA all have tautomers. The three oxygen-containing bases of guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T) have two tautomers: keto and enol. Adenine (A) and thymine are two nitrogenous bases, and there are amine and imine tautomers. G, C and T mainly exist as ketone structure, and the ratio of enol structure is extremely low. The nitrogen atoms on the two nitrogen-containing bases of A and T mainly exist in the state of amino (NH2), and in the state of imino (NH). The rate of state existence is extremely low. The difference in the position of the hydrogen atom between different isomers and the deviation of the electron cloud at the same position can change the pairing form of the bases, so that mismatches may appear on the copied daughter strands. For example, when thymine exists in a ketone structure, it pairs with adenine, and when it exists in an enol structure, it pairs with guanine. In this way, there are unstable bases where A can be matched with C and T can be matched with G. Yes, resulting in mismatches.
在已知的几种耐热DNA聚合酶中,TaqDNA聚合酶的错配率最高。Taq DNA聚合酶是发现的耐热DNA聚合酶中活性最高的一种,具有5'-3'外切酶活性,不具3'-5'外切酶活性,因此在合成中对某些单核苷酸错配没有校正功能,所以比有3'-5'校对活性的DNA聚合酶发生错配的概率较高。DNA聚合酶的保真性可以通过多种方法来降低,包括使用4种浓度不同dNTP、添加Mn 2+、提高Mg 2+浓度等。几种诱变方法导致扩增DNA链碱基变异的机理各不相同。MnC1 2是DNA聚合酶的诱变因子,加入Mn 2+可以降低聚合酶对模板的特异性,提高错配率;4种dNTPs浓度的不平衡可以提高碱基错误掺入的概率,实现错配;Mg 2+具有激活Taq酶的作用,增加Mg 2+浓度,使之超过正常用量,能稳定非互补的碱基对;提高Taq DNA聚合酶用量、增加每个循环延伸时间,可以增加错配终端延伸的概率;降低起始模板浓度,会使后面PCR循环的变异模板比例增加。 Among the known heat-resistant DNA polymerases, TaqDNA polymerase has the highest mismatch rate. Taq DNA polymerase is the most active one among the heat-resistant DNA polymerases found. It has 5'-3' exonuclease activity, but not 3'-5' exonuclease activity. Therefore, it has a strong effect on certain mononuclear DNA polymerases during synthesis. There is no correction function for nucleotide mismatches, so the probability of mismatches is higher than that of DNA polymerases with 3'-5' proofreading activity. The fidelity of DNA polymerase can be reduced by a variety of methods, including the use of 4 different concentrations of dNTP, the addition of Mn 2+ , and the increase of Mg 2+ concentration. Several mutagenesis methods lead to different mechanisms of base variation in amplified DNA chains. MnC1 2 is a mutagenic factor of DNA polymerase. Adding Mn 2+ can reduce the specificity of the polymerase to the template and increase the mismatch rate; the unbalanced concentration of 4 dNTPs can increase the probability of base misincorporation and achieve mismatches. ; Mg 2+ has the effect of activating Taq enzyme, increasing the concentration of Mg 2+ to exceed the normal dosage, which can stabilize non-complementary base pairs; increasing the dosage of Taq DNA polymerase and increasing the elongation time of each cycle can increase mismatches Probability of terminal extension; reducing the initial template concentration will increase the proportion of variant templates in subsequent PCR cycles.

After the reaction, add 2 times the volume of methanol to the reaction system, mix well, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 3 min, take the supernatant, and detect by HPLC with a wavelength of 210 nm. The response characteristics of some mutants are as follows:

由表1的结果可以看出,单点突变体的转化效果较母本有所提高,但并未达到最理想的效果。对有益突变位点进行组合,可进一步提高突变体活性。From the results in Table 1, it can be seen that the transformation effect of the single-point mutant is higher than that of the female parent, but it has not reached the optimal effect. Combining beneficial mutation sites can further improve mutant activity.

After the reaction, add 2 times the volume of methanol to the reaction system, mix well, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 3 min, take the supernatant, and detect by HPLC with a wavelength of 210 nm.

由表2结果可以看出,突变体活性进一步提高,但仍未达到最佳的效果。可通过迭代饱和突变的进化方法,叠加活性提高的突变位点,避免进化过程中,进化结果只限于局部最高点而不能到达全局最高点,获得活性提高的突变体。It can be seen from the results in Table 2 that the activity of the mutant is further improved, but the optimal effect is still not achieved. The iterative saturated mutation evolution method can be used to superimpose the mutation sites with increased activity to avoid the evolutionary result being limited to the local highest point instead of reaching the global highest point during the evolution process, and to obtain mutants with increased activity.

由表4结果可以看出,运用迭代饱和突变使得突变体活性大幅提高。下一步可继续通过随机突变(易错PCR),进一步提高突变体活性,得到可用于工业生产的最终突变体。It can be seen from the results in Table 4 that the use of iterative saturation mutation greatly increases the activity of the mutant. In the next step, random mutation (error-prone PCR) can be continued to further improve the activity of the mutant and obtain the final mutant that can be used in industrial production.
